Deftones are more than four years removed from their last album, and they haven’t released a new single in almost as long. The band’s relative quiet isn’t keeping them from the Billboard charts, though, as their fans send them back to multiple tallies this week.
The hard rockers manage to claim both a successful album and song this frame in America. Deftones return to two different charts, as fans are buying and streaming some of their most successful releases in large enough numbers to make them wins once more.
Between their two currently-charting titles, Deftones reappear highest on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart. Their project Around the Fur breaks back onto the list of the most-consumed hard rock-only studio efforts in the country at No. 24—just one rung above the final slot.
Around the Fur already ranks as Deftones’ longest-running win on the Top Hard Rock Albums ranking, though it simultaneously holds a less impressive distinction. Somehow, despite the fact that it’s racked up 35 weeks on the roster, the title also remains the band’s lowest-charting effort thus far.
The same group is also back on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs tally. Their single “Change [In The House of Flies]” returns to the ranking of the most-streamed tunes in the nation that Billboard classifies as hard rock when it comes to style. On that roster, the cut reappears at No. 25, which is the lowest position.
While they may have scored eight hits on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart throughout their time together—a sum which includes half a dozen top 10s and a pair of No. 1s—Deftones haven’t been nearly as successful on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs list. They’ve only pushed one single to the tally, and “Change [In The House of Flies]” is still their sole smash.
Deftones claim one of two comebacks on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart this week. Just a few rungs higher than Around the Fur, Seether’s Vicennial: 2 Decades of Seether breaks back in at No. 20. The rockers score the only return on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs list, as the other 24 tunes that find space on the list were present somewhere on the tally last time around.
